good morning. i'm chris jansing. anthony weiner is nothing, if not tenacious, or, depending our point of view, tone deaf, unrealistic and delusional be he is trying to turn his biggest weakness in his biggest strength. if running for mayor is tough he says it's the same toughness you need to be mayor and the theme of his brand-new video. >> sometimes people say to me, you know, this campaign is pretty rough. you may want to quit. quit isn't the way we roll in new york city. we fight through tough things. we are a tough city. there are people all around new york city who get up in the morning with a pretty tough day ahead of them and they don't quit. >> and during a fiery soliloqio, weiner insisted this campaign is getting him ready for the job he wants. >> at a certain point, you got

to say, look. i don't quit. new yorkers don't quit. i'm not going to go into the corner and curl up because somebody found out something embarrassing about me. if you become mayor of the city of new york you have to put up with this every single day. people saying to you you did something we don't like. change your mind. back out. quit. that's not the kind of mayor i'm going to be. sir, say with you all due respect, if you do not want to vote for me, do not but do not deny these people the right to vote for me if they want to. >> the weiner campaign is clearly in free-fall. his communication director trashed one of the directors and going off in an expletive raced rant and then apologizing. hils wife has not been with him on the campaign trail with reports he sexted more women. good to see both of you.

good morning. >> good morning. >> this video just now where he is telling people, i won't quit, you have to be able to teal with the scrutiny if you're mayor of new york and it goes on and on. it kind of looked like people were clapping, jackie, and nodding in his audience. he is making his point? >> he keeps saying he is not going to quit so i guess we have to believe him. i believe at this point he is fourth in this mayoral race and probably not make the runoff. he has kind of crossed the line from someone who is really trying to bring himself back into the public eye to punch line and once you go to punch line, probably going to stay there, carlos danger and the like. there really isn't a path forward for him so i guess what else is he going to do, right? >> yes. he seems to be in some way enjoying this at these events. let me play another little clip. >> yes, i did. you know what? i had to vote for anthony weiner. i decided i got good idea. i decide i'm not in the

political class. i decided i have shown a lot of independence and standing in front of you today do you think it was easy? do you think -- okay, let's go to city island and take to these good people and bring 50 cameras knowing i would get this question! >> you have to give him this, alex. he seems to believe what he is saying. >> he sure does, chris. we are reaching the point in the campaign we in the media have to ask ourselves are we enabling a addict here? as jackie says he does not have a path to victory if he had one. the only reason to stay in the race is his need for attention and exhibitionist streak why he got in so many trouble to begin with. you play the new video of his ad i think it's hard to take that pitch seriously when he is talking about overcoming adversity to be mayor. >> we can't say on the air all of the expletives his campaign

director used to writing a column about working with anthony weiner but she used disgusting and sexed language. she said she only worked to get work for the campaign to get close to hillary. in a moment of frustration, i used inappropriate language in what i thought was an off the record conversation. it was wrong and i am very sorry which is what i said tonight when i called and e-mailed olivia to apologize. jackie, at this point, how do you even work to try to manage a campaign like this? i think, you know, this morning, chuck todd or our staff sort of pointed out, usually when you get to the point that the staff seems to be going off the rails, it's never a very good sign. >> no. it doesn't seem to be getting any better. i mean, that use of insulting language to quote another former new york congressman, it doesn't really play well and all she can do is apologize. but, yeah, it seems like that

tailspin really isn't going to come back up any time soon. >> alex, your colleague at politico maggie haberman saying huma is taking a vacation. not a leave of absence is paint as a planned vacation but there is all of this buzz this could eventually come back to hurt hillary and some people are worrying about it tainting huma. what is going on here? >> my colleague maggie is reporting that huma is going to take some time away from her job at hillary clinton's side. i think it's important to distinguish between the actual political implications of all this for hillary clinton which are probably minimal because no one pays to these relationships and the clinton operation within sort of beltway and new york, smart set of political folks who are sort of peering, you know, under the hood here for the first time in a while. and, you know, from what we have seen, the weiner campaign has in the set that world in its best

possible light. >> let's talk about what the president is doing today. he is heading to click to talk strategy with the democrats. meeting with the members of the house and then to the sat to en before the month long summer recess. while visiting a plant in tennessee yesterday the president offered republicans a deal. lower corporate taxes if revenue generated goes to create jobs. >> here's the bottom line. if folks in washington really want to agrand bargain how about a grand bargain for middle class jobs? i don't want to go through the same old arguments where i p propose an idea and the republicans say no just because it's my idea. >> good to see you, senator. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm well. thank you. it seems right from the start, republicans came out against mitchell mcconnell, john boehner rejecting the deal and mcconnell called it a further left version

of what he proposed two years ago. what are your thoughts? >> well, i think the president is making a good faith effort. he keeps coming up with proposals like some entitlement reform, like corporate tax cuts and, at some point, i think the parties, the republicans have to say yes. if, indeed they want a deal. and i think that someone of the basic questions. you know, chris, there are people here for whom gridlock is success and so you can always negotiate a deal if both sides want to get there. but if one side or the other simply doesn't want a solution, then it's very hard. but, you know, i give the president credit, he is trying to make some gestures in the direction the republicans have been looking for, particularly on reducing the corporate tax rate and maybe they don't like the details of what he is proposing, but, hey, let's start talking. that's the only way this is going to get solved. >> not all of the democrats like it either. harry reid says the president is already giving too much. in broader negotiations with

republicans, for example, he opened the door to change cpi which is changing the way the cost of living is slated for social security. how do you get anyone to come to an agreement, anything in this polarizing environment where we are right now? >> well, we have seen that we can come to agreement on some tough issues. immigration we did student loans on a bipartisan basis. the problem is the budget issues get to the core value of the two parties. >> the house is the issue, right? >> oh, yeah. but you get to the house, it's, you know, the democrats don't want entitlement reform, particularly the republicans don't want any new revenues to the government. it's really hard to resolve an issue where, you know, the basic fundamental differences between the parties about the scope and scale of the federal government are at stake. however, you know, the president is talking about economic development. i think the best thing that congress could do for economic development in the country is pass a budget. it almost doesn't matter what is

in it. just to show that we're confident. i mean, that would electrify the country that, you know, we can get things done down here by talking to each other. so i don't give up. i'm a congenital optimist and i think there are some discussions going on that may lead to some kind of bargain to get out of this mess. >> how do you be optimistic, senator, when the senate did pass a budget and you couldn't get it through the house? >> well, you just -- because you got to keep talking. i think there was a lull there. the house passed their budget. the senate passed their budget and there were some discussions. what worries me is we have lost three or four months and now we have got a basically two months before the end of the fiscal year. and here we are in crisis land again. it's pretty frustrating, but, you know, hope springs eternal. as i say, under the surface, a bit -- we have seen some -- some bipartisan work going on and i see a lot of it going on in the committees. it's just this big issue of the

budget which reflects the larger issue of, you know, what is the role of the federal government? that is really what is at stake here and this is an argument that has been going on for 200 years. but we have never been to a place where we simply can't do the public's business. that's where we are now and that is the biggest problem i see. >> i'm watching the president's motorcade, senator. only a few seconds. he is arriving on capitol hill. what do you want to hear from him or ask him today? >> i want to hear from him about, you know, how we can make this work and get republican vote. just firing up the democrats isn't going to do it. nothing works around here if you got a democrat ib president and republican house and democratic senate with republican power because of the filibuster. i'm hoping to see the president reach out across the aisle while holding on to the democrats and come to a solution. i think the best thing to do for the country is just start acting like we know what we are doing. that would be a refreshing change! >> senator angus king with a

statement, i think, many constituents all around the country would agree with. thank you. good to see you, sir. >> thank you, chris. jackie, let's talk a little bit about this meeting as we saw the president arrive. i think, you know, angus king obviously makes the point. just firing up the democrats isn't going to do that, although this is going to be, as we understand it, something of a pep rally. what can the president accomplish today? >> i mean, this is mostly to get democrats on the same page as they go into august recess to try to put some pressure on republicans going into the fall. so he is meeting with house democrats first. then senate democrats and just really trying to get everyone singing from the same sheet of paper. so it really, as far as tangible things are getting done today probably webt son't see a lot be them saying about the same thing. >> the u.s. economy grew by 1.7% in the second quarter which is better than estimates and that is in spite of the sequester, higher taxes. the problem if you're a democrat

or a republican, do you say we could be doing better if, a, the republicans weren't standing in the way, or, b, the president and democrats weren't standing in the way? i mean, is that where we are? >> i think it is, chris, because i don't know that anybody in either party is satisfied with the rate of economic growth. you know, sort of the big picture on what the president has been doing this week is he setting the table for a much bigger confrontation in the fall around the debt ceiling and the republican push to defund the affordable care act and the goal on the democratic side is to validate the point you just made, that we would be doing so much better, if not for this obstruction. republicans have to make the opposite case. >> alex burns and jackie kucinich, good to see bothmanni to 136 years in prison for sending classified information

to the website wikileaks. the founder julian assange came to his defense. >> it will mean the end of national security journalism in the united states as we know it if it is left to stand. >> he is talking about getting behind an appeal of this. prosecutors will be presenting evidence today on just how much damage manning's leaks caused the u.s. government. that could play into how much time he'll serve. we will have more on this story coming up a little later in this hour. for his small business. take these bags to room 12 please.

this is just minutes ago. the president arriving on capitol hill. he'll meet first with democrats on the house side and then the senate getting everybody on the same page as they head into the

summer recess. especially on the economic message and we are going to continue to follow those meetings. in the meantime, when school doors open this fall at clarkesville high school in arkansas teachers and staff will be armed with gun ps. locked and loaded and ready to fend off an intruder after getting 53 hours of weapons training. the small town of clarkesville is the first district in the state to arm teachers who are considered security guards on campus which is permitted under state law. the plan is reigniting the debate how best to protect the children in school. i'm joined by kim russell for moms demand action for gun sense in america. thanks for coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> what we heard after newtown from the clarkesville superintendent was this, that the plan that they were given was not going to work, that to lock your doors, turn off the lights and hope for the best. that was not a solution. the nra called the idea of arming schools the best answer possible. what is your reaction to what is going on? >> well, i think it's

interesting after columbine, the nra said that there should be no guns in school. so i think that is interesting that their mine has changed on this. i think adding guns to schools will create a less safe environment. statistics show that a gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used in homicide, accidental shooting and suicide. so i feel that the risk involved in having a gun in a school are far greater than the benefit. >> so what are the answers? because, i mean, you certainly understand the disquiet that was caused to say the least for parents who thought they could send their kids and you've talked to the parents from newtown, i've talked to the parents from newtown, a day like any other day, you drop your kids off at school and you assume they are safe and what happened was so horrific. what is the answer then? >> the answer is background checks. if we try to prevent guns from being in the wrong hands in the first place then we won't need

to arm our schools. >> how do you change this? 90% of americans after newtown wanted background checks. republicans came up for background checks and yet nothing has been done on the federal level. do you still keep fighting on the federal level or moving the fights to the states? >> both. we are fighting hard and what we are going to do is vote out the people who don't agree with us because 90% of americans want to see this happen. we have plenty of responsible gun owners who belong to our organization and realize the need for common sense gun legislation. >> do they have an idea, a strategy to use for convincing some of these members of congress that they need to change the role besides voting them out? >> we are calling them an awful lot and it seems to be having an effect. we will be hosting lemonade stands over august during the recess and let them nor we are hear to say. no connecticut effect here. our moms are in the fight to win

it and our first priority is protect our children. teachers don't want to be armed. their job is to nurture and educate our children. that job will than hindered if they have the responsibility of having a gun. >> it's very personal for you. you're a survivor of gun violence. you and a friend were shot by an armed robber and, in fact, your friend was kills. i'm wondering was there a time when it went through your head, if only i had had a gun, if only my friend had a gun, we could -- >> it never did until a radio host suggested that had i had a gun, i could have saved my friend. this was very hard for me to hear because as a survivor, i felt pretty guilty already. i know that in that instance, if i had been armed, i would be dead now. and i feel like a lot of people don't understand that when one is faced with extreme danger, your mind does not work in ways you think it will. what happens is your body is

kou coarsing can adrenaline and your are in flight mode. you are sending all of your energy into your muscles to react. so your day-to-day things that you do subconsciously, their motor skilled leave and are gone and your brain isn't working. our law enforcement are trained over and over again to handle, you know, these tactical situations where there's an active shooter. arming a teacher, they are not going to have that kind of training. it's just not possible to understand what you're going to do in that situation and when i was faced with that situation, in hindsight, i did everything wrong but i thought i was doing everything right. >> let me just say, i don't know who that radio host was, and people can have legitimate disagreements about these issues, but to suggest that somehow you could have saved your friend is so beyond the pale. i don't even know what to say about it. great to have you in.

thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you for coming and talking to us today. come back again. kim russell, thanks, for mom demand action for gun sense in america. is this the end for a-rod? the new york daily news is reporting that alex rodriguez is one of nine baseball players suspected possible suspended by the end of this week. his attorney has said he will appeal. lots of money at stake. sources tell the newspaper that baseball investigators said that a-rod used performance-enhancing drugs as early as last year. an alleged cover-up. as this plays out, a-rod is on the cover of "sports illustrated" and in the article, he says, he wants to be a role model. is like hammering.

in what could ab preview of the 2016 presidential race, republicans chris christie and rand paul are waging a war of words in the fight for the heart and soul of the republican party.

most washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon so they can get re-elec d re-elected. >> this is the king of bacon talking about bacon? you know? rp party is shrinking in new england and i'm trying to grow the party by talking about libertarian ideas of privacy on the internet and attacking me isn't helping the party. he is hurting the party. >> let's bring in jason starchestarchenford and john brabend. good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> john, i'm curious. what do you think of this back and forth? is it just sort of legitimate laying the groundwork for 2016? >> you don't pick a former prosecutor from new jersey to pick a fight with. >> who is popular and frankly when you look at the numbers

kentucky is tenth in terms of federal aid and new jersey is last. >> i thought that was interesting chris christie answered a question asked of him but he immediately had the exact number of how much goes to kentucky which means had he somebody research it. i think the other problem for rand paul is that his father ron paul was a huge earmark guy as well. so i think it's a bad issue for him and i think that the exchange probably hurt both candidates and helped team like ted cruz and rick santorum and the other potential candidates. >> i don't know. do you think they are getting the sniping stuff out of the plain it's practice when we have to bring out the big guns? >> maybe we should be glad when republicans get in a fight and don't mention rape. what this did was isolated a lot of schisms in the republican party. a northeastern republican versus a southerner. we have got a tea party guy versus an establishment guy but the most important conflict here revealed that the republican

party has no national security plan right now. >> talk about that. i think there are a couple of arguments that we have heard between the two of them. one is about fiscal policy, but the other is about national defense. let me play a couple of clips. >> these isoteric debates. i want them to sit across from the widows and the orphans and have that conversation and they won't. >> it's really, i think, kind of sad and cheap that he would use the cloak of 9/11 victims and say, oh, i'm the only one who cares about these victims. hog wash! >> john, is one way or another of these guys coming out ahead in this back and forth? >> i think they both lost. i got to go back to what jason said on national defense. survey after survey saying the republicans are much more credible than the democrats whose national security plan seems to be do whatever you want we are staying out of the equation.

i think ultimately this will start to be less about each republican going after each other and more about looking at defining people like hillary clinton and ben ghazi scandal that is going to follow her wherever she goes. ultimately i think this will be moved on to better turf for republicans. >> i don't know, jason. do you think that the hillary clinton supporters and maybe the joe biden supporters and some other people who we don't each know about who may be thinking about getting into the democratic race are sitting back and saying, go at it, looky each other up and we will sit back and watch? >> that is a net for politics. chris christie is right we can't disengage from the world. it leaves leadership up to china. rand paul is right that we cannot hide behind the widows and orphans of 9/11 and that tragedy every time national security comes up. we need security and liberty and we can only do that if we embrace our best values and that means no secret courts and better oversight and only the democratic party is doing that right now. the republican party can't talk

about national security without talking about ben ghazi and there is no ben ghazi there. >> jason stanford and john brabender, good to see you. >> thanks. secretary of state john kerry hosted a dinner at the state department for israel and palestinian negotiators who have been meeting in washington. the two sides agreed on a timetable of nine months to try to reach an agreement to end their conflict and they will meet again the middle of next month. the government will pay a san diego college student more than $4 million after he was mistakenly left in a dea interrogation room for five days. daniel chong didn't have food, water, a bathroom. he was severely dehydrated when he was found. and was brought in after a drug raid at a house near uc san diego in april of 2012. after questioning, chong was told he would soon be relieved but for reasons still unknown, he was just left there. a judge has ordered three former top penn state officials to stand trial in connection with the jerry sandusky case.

the form president and vp and athletic director are accused of covering up claims that sandusky assaulted a boy in a university shower in 2001. sandusky convicted last year of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. the cdc control is confirming 372 cases in 15 states of a nasty stomach bug that can last up to two months! iowa has the most cases. 145. and officials say the outbreaks there and in nebraska have been traced to prepackaged salad mix. the cdc and fda are looking into other possible sources in other states. well, princess diana is on the cover of "vanity fair" for the first time since 1977 a month after her death. the article details diane's desire to marry a man named hasnot kahn. according to reports she was madly in love and he didn't want to be in the public eye. first look at naomi watts

i saw on "nightly news" and janet was talking about the flooding and impact on crops. let me play a little clip of janet from last nichlt. >> reporter: you can clearly see the impact of this rain in this year's peach crop. this is a normal sized peach. 2 and a quart inches. take a look at this. when it's bloated with that much rain it dilutes the sweetness of the fruit. >> that is crazy and probably does it not taste that good but the prices are going up, aren't they? >> exactly rye. last year a doubt and this year too much rain and mother nature is having a tough time getting it right. any way the extreme weather impacts crop supply because excess rain damages the crop and lower yields and mean prices go up at the grocery store. summer staples like melons and cucumbers, expect to pay more for them on your next trip to the market. we could see a rough 10% price hike on items like that when

compared to the spring this, this fall. >> jackie, good to see you. thank you. >> thanks.

wikileaks. jim miklaszewski is joining us now with some details. good morning, mick. >> good morning, chris. the military court that convicted bradley manning on 20 counts of espionage and computer fraud is now deliberating the sentencing. there could be as much as 20 witnesses from both the prosecution and defense. to sort of try to shape the judge's decisions on just how many years bradley manning should get for each of those 20 counts. as you said, the total is 136. most legal experts, military legal experts as well don't believe he would get that many years. something much less. but it is expected that he probably would spend most of the rest of his life in a military jail. at the same time, you know, the u.s. military and in terms of protecting their secrets, you know, there's some discussion that both bradley manning and edward snowden cases are very

similar because both were low level, considerably low level technicians who are access to treasure atrophy and hundreds of thousands of secret documents they could get access to and potentially steal. so the military is looking at ways to prevent that from happening again. they didn't learn the lesson in manning because the snowden incident just occurred a few months ago. >> jim miklaszewski, thank you. turning from that leaker and awaiting sentencing to the leaker left in limbo. the fbi is trying to helped edward snowden's father to get to russia to talk to his son about getting home. the father has gotten involved inclusion on russian television saying he is grateful to president putin and the kremlin for keeping his son safe. top u.s. officials are being grilled now about the nsa program that snowden exposed. i want to bring in the senator

thicker. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> two issues here. the privacy and the relationship with russia. let me start what continued to be growing concessions over privacy concern. what is your take on these surveillance programs? >> i think they are necessary and there are privacy protections built in there and actually i support the program because there are -- >> we haven non't gone too far? >> thousands of terrorists trying to get to us each day and we have stopped most of them but this is an important component to that. >> there is also the question has been raved in the middle of all this about russia and our relationship. you were in an op-ed recently in the "the washington times" and i want to read a piece of it. how do you think the snowden situation will ultimately be resolved and what it might mean for america's long-term

relationship with the kremlin? >> i'll tell you there are growing number of problems with our relationship with russia. president putin has been such a disappointment on so many fronts from the violation of human rights, trial, and the adoption issue which, of course, is what i brought a resolution before international parliamentary assembly about. >> can i ask you about that? >> sure. >> a lot of people who talk about this the people in the middle it, it's heartbreaking. a ban on adoptions and left 300 hopeful parents and russian orphans in the process of adopting just stuck. i know you've criticized the president for not beingraphy enough on behalf of the pipeline parents, but to give putin's to

snub his nose at the united states, how can the united states put pressure to make something happen here? >> the secretary of state is actually trying to negotiate this. my criticism of president obama is he meets with president putin and at least he should bring it up. the fact that there are 300 families where the parents have actually met the russian child and this adoption has been stopped in the middle, to me, that rises to a human rights violation. countries have a right to prohibit adoptions internationally if they want to but the fact remains we have had 60,000 successful adoptions by american families of russian children that would otherwise have gone neglected. but when you stop it in the middle of the process, the child has already seen the prospective parents and wondering when mom and dad are coming to get them, to me that's a human rights violation. i'm glad the secretary of state

has taken this on. i wish the president had mentioned it and i'm glad that an international parliamentary assembly of 57 countries passed my resolution saying pipeline adoption should not be stopped. >> i know that some of these families left hanging and part of your interest is that these families are from mississippi and i'm wondering in your conversations with them, are they hopeful? are they althoughing confidence that this will ever get done? >> i'll say they are more resolved. when you're dealing with russia, it's always long term and hard to be hopeful. actually, i met with families from florida and ohio, it's not just my home state of mississippi, which is affected, it's almost every state. missouri has been very much affected by this. it's a national problem. it's a way that the united states and russia have worked together and it's all about children who don't have a hope in their native land and americans who want to be

responsible families to them. so, you know, i'm not the picture of optimism here but i think what we need is some resolve and also we could use a little help from the bully bull pit the most public official in the world and that is president obama. i wish he would have at least raised the issue with the president of russia. >> in wicker, thank you for being on the show today. >> thank you. tweet of the day. congress was hoping for a verdict that would make the next bradley manning think twice before he leaked secrets. ] made just a little sweeter... because all these whole grains aren't healthy unless you actually eat them ♪ multigrain cheerios. also available in delicious peanut butter. healthy never tasted so sweet.

i need to ask? >> jeff flake if you need to ask is 50 yeshs old and looking pretty good at 50, i would say. he is, of course, known for his survivor style get-aways. there is him on one of his breaks. he took a week-long trip to a deserted island in 2009 and he actually returned with his kids this year. he is known for roughing it. maybe that helps him stay fit. who knows. >> getting some nods from the women in the studio here. second is kirby bumpas who has pretty powerful connections and also beautiful. >> absolutely. she works for the health department there but also the daughter of cbs's gale king and her godmother is oprah winfrey. she is ivy educated well. >> number three, sam cast. number four and five are two c-span production assistants. how did they get on your radar? >> interesting.

we have doing the most beautiful list for ten years and this is our first set of identical twins and both work at c-span as production assistants and number four and pfeiffer on the list. no particular order. i think the older one at number four and the younger one at the number five slot. give the 10-second older twin the seniority there. >> i can see what is going on in that household. 16 republicans on the breakdown and 26 democrats and eight independents. do we assume that democrats are better looking? what? >> well, i think this is real a sign of the times. the first time in the history of the list we opened up the list to white house staffers as well so it's a democratic white house, of course. i think that has affected maybe the party power on the list. back in 2011, republicans led the list. so democrats shouldn't get too full of themselves for being ahead of the game this year. >> real quickly. go through some other lawmakers on your list. tim scott and gabbert and

frederica wilson and eric bowl who is known as the republican jay carin inecarney? do we have a side-by-side? he does. >> got the glasses going on. >> sanchez looks like he is in high school a little bit. what can you tell us about him? >> this list is eclectic you might say. five lawmakers on the list. she is from hawaii so she loves to go hawaii and that keeps her fit. tim scott used to play football. he was going on a football scholarship until he got in a car accident and now on the 50 most beautiful list. i don't know. take your pick. >> his campus ask capitol hill. judy kurtis, a fun list. thank you. >> that wraps up this hour of "jansing and co." >> i love that jay carney look

alike. i thought he looked like an angry jay carney. if you're handsome you want to smile in that 50 handsome people list. chris, thank you very much. president obama strategy session on the hill is rallying the troops to try to get his grand bargain and other items on his agenda passed. we will ask a congressman who is with the president behind closed doors. we will speak to him after that. then the implosion of anthony weiner who is fighting back in a campaign video. even as one of his aides is dropping f-bombs and other slurs in an interview. can weiner hang on to the very end of the new york mayor's race? are these the last days of a-rod? he sel tells "sports illustrated" he wants to be a role model. stay tuned for the first of a new series here on msnbc presumed guilty. can racial profiling be stopped? much more coming your way in three minutes.
